Nicosia Fighters pulled off a veritable upset as they beat Sri Lankan Lions by a comfortable margin of eight wickets in this game. The likes of Munnah Rahman and Ramjan Hossain batted exquisitely to make sure that they got over the line comfortably.
The Lions will have a lot of pondering to do ahead of their next game as it was not expected of them to lose this match. They will try to make sure that they improve themselves. The Fighters, on the other hand, will be extremely proud of their performance today.
